SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. The influx of important intelligence from the East Indies, and the grave considerations arising out of the events therein detailed, have diverted our attention for a time from the pamphlet on " India, Great Britain, and Russia," which is so singularly a-propos to that subject. The ob servations of the writer on the commercial part of the question are remarkably sound and judicious, presenting at once a correct view of its present state, and foretelling the complete annihililation of it which must follow the acquisi tion of those rich possessions by Russia. Another federa tion in the East, contrived to crush our commerce with India, as effectually as that of Germany has already ac complished that purpose over the richest part of Europe, is indeed a vision to fill the mind of the British merchant with dismay ! Not to injure the effect of this passage by a partial quotation,we have taken it entire, and have placed it under a separate head. Some further reference to the political portion of the pamphlet is peculiarly apt and fitting at this moment, since the views of the author are ascertained, even while it is in our hands, to be the precise policy upon which the Go vernment of India is preparing to act. " From the mag nitude of the interests at stake," he remarks, " it especially behoves us to be warned in time—to anticipate the ap proach of danger, however slow or distant the hostile move ment—not to wait till the enemy is at the gates of the ci. tadel, but to deprive him of the chance of arriving there." The mixture of half alliance, half-enmity, in which the Go vernment of India is placed with respect to the various kingdoms, states, and native tribes which are to form, un der politic management, the barrier to the advance of Russia, may be understood from the annexed extracts, which form the best commentary upon the news which has just been received : " The States of Sinde, occupying the eastern side of the lower portion of the Indus, are understood not to be decidedly unfriendly to us ; but, from various causes, we cannot rely upon them for any efficient support. Above them lies the kingdom of the Punjaub, ruled by the celebrated Runjeet Singh, an old ally of the British Government. He has hitherto been faithful to his engagements; but it might not be desirable to put his virtue to too severe a test. It is a prevail ing opinion, moreover, that the stability of the power which be has raised depends greatly on the continuance of his own life. Further, it may be observed that his territories„ with the exception of a small portion of which he has dispossessed Cabul, lie within the Indus ; and the policy of England should lead to a &fence beyond that river. " In that portion of Asia (between Persia and the Indus) which has just been indicated lies a country long distinguished in the annals of the East for the production of men eminent] y endued with all those qualities which are most valuable in the soldier. To that country should the attention of England be directed, as the means of rolling back the flood of Russian aggression, which, unless resisted, will at no distant period menace the passes of the British frontier, if it do not force them. " Affghanistan was even in modern times regarded as a for midable neighbour ; and one of the objects of our alliance with Persia was to protect British India from invasion by the Affgbans. It has been weakened by civil wars, but its posi tion renders it of importance to cultivate a connexion with it. If an attempt should be made to invade India, the route of the invading force will probably be through Affghanistan. The friendship or enmity of the rulers of this country could, therefore, at no time be strictly regarded as a matter of indif ference. It is now become of more importance than ever that we should in Affghanistan possess the means of repelling the march of a hostile army towards India; but the value of these provinces as outworks has long been acknowledged, and it is a proverbial expression that Cabul and Candahar are the gates of Hindostan.' " Cabul and Candahar are the gates of India; but it would not be desirable that England should have actual pos. session of them, even though possession were within her reach. By extending our frontier so far to the westward, we should only be pushing it toward the most wily and deter mined of our enemies, and thus bringing nearer an adversary whom it is our policy to keep at a distance. A system of al liances judiciously formed with the princes of Affghanistan would give us exactly the security which we want; our ob ject being, not aggrandisement, but defence—not the gratifi cation of any ambitious views entertained by ourselves, but the frustration of those of Russia. There are undoubtedly difficulties in the way. Affghanistan is divided among several chiefs, some of them actuated by bitter enmity towards each other, and none of them, perhaps, in their hearts regarding the rest with much cordiality. An exiled Prince of that country is at this time an actual guest in the Bi itish dominions. Run jeet Singh is not well disposed towards the Affghan Princes, nor they towards him ; and his overrunning Peshawar has never been forgiven by its former possessors. His heresy, too, assists in rendering him odious ; and the orthodox Mahometans, while seeking aggrandizement or revenge at his expense, may readily persuade themselves that they are fighting the battle of Heaven. To aid these elements of fermentation we cannot doubt, although we may be unable to produce positive proof of the fact, that Russian intrigue is actively at work, cajoling or threatening, as may best answer the purpose. This last is the most discouraging circumstance of all ; but, if it dismay us, we are unworthy of being the countrymen of those who laid the foundations of our Indian empire. There will be diffi culties in the way of a satisfactory settlement, but Russia knows nothing of difficulties but to surmount them. • x a • • who have never bestowed a moment's serious considers- ton on it. Russia is an aggressive power ; she has been constantly adding to her possessions, and it is inferred that in time she will come in contact with our Indian empire. In the Asiatic Journal for November there is an able article on " Russia, India, and England," in which the writer first inquires into the motives which Russia can possibly have to cripple the power of England, and next into the means which she possesses of invading India. Though the power and the resources as well as :he ambition of Russia are, no doubt, in general greatly ex aggerated, and sufficient allowance is not made for the ten dency to augmentation of an empire possessed of a large territory and an extensive frontier, still with every fair deduction and allowance, it must be admitted that the re sources of Russia are great, and that her recent history is not calculated to disarm apprehension with respect to the use she may make of them. The writer in the Asiatic .lournal has not settled the question by his endeavour to show that " the conduct and policy of England cannot furnish Russia with any motive for hostility, and that this great power has already territory enough to satisfy the most inordinate appetite for dominion," and that " the consequences likely to result to Russia herself from the ruin or the depression of Great Britain" would be in jurious to her in the extreme. That Russia has already territory enough to satisfy the most inordinate appetite for dominion does not prove that she is not desirous of more ; while, on the other hand, various circumstances tend to prove that in some quarters at least she is actually paving the way for further aggressions. It may be true that many of the military operations of Russia on her frontiers are at tributable to the same causes which have led our own countrymen in India to take possession of one territory after another. That an empire which is contiguous to China, Persia, Turkey, Germany, and the Polar Sea, " The boundaries of which," says the writer in the Asiatic .lournal, " are at some points defined by no geographical marks, at others lost in the steppes of nomade tribes, or faintly traced along the confines of uncivilised nations, should be constantly engaged in petty hostilities with these refractory and predatory neighbours, may well be expected ; but these attempts to define and defend her frontier are not to be ascribed to a desire of aggrandizement, We know by experience in our Indian empire that one of the evils of a large territory and an exten sive frontier, without geographical limits, is the constant ten dency to augmentation. A positive enactment of the Impe rial Legislature against increasing our dominions in India has not prevented their unavoidable extension to the Indus on one side, and the Brahmaputra on the other, whilst on the North they are pushed up to the very glaciers of the Himalaya. If we look to our own proceedings (and self-examination is an office as beneficial to States and communities as to indivi duals) it would not be difficult to find parallel cases to Russian encroachment in British India. Let us (passing over ancient and obsolete examples) compare our treatment of the Coorgs of Southern India, or of the wild tribes of Assam, with that of the Circassians by Russia, and we shall see that there is little essential difference between the two cases. Russia may, with as good a title of prima facie right, chastise the mountaineers of the Kuban and of Caucasus, and for their resistance reduce them to subjection, as we have punished and subdued many of the native independent people of Hindustan. If tried by the strict rules which we apply to other great powers in Europe, our empire in India i 3 but an aggregate of usurpations, of spo liations by the stronger of the weaker. The grounds upon which these acquisitions and appropriations of territory are justified would be as available in one case as in the other." Without attempting to decide whether the cases are ex actly parallel—whether our wars in India have been al ways strictly justifiable—whether the necessity of finding employment and plunder for a large army may not have occasionally been the cause of Indian as well as Russian wars, this is not precisely an argument calculated to disarm apprehension with regard to Russian designs. And as nations as well as individuals are often short-sighted, and do not act in accordance with their true interests, it is pos sible that, though it may not be the interest of Russia that England should be humbled, indignation at being foiled by the latter country in some of his ardently-cherished projects may lead the Czar to pursue a course dictated by passion rather than the welfare of his people. But our conso lation is, that allowing Russia to be as blind as possible to her own interests, to entertain the wish of injuring England as much as she possibly can, she can neither injure us in Europe or in Asia. Between the countries now possessed by Russia and our Indian territories there is a wide inter val of countries which do not furnish the means of support ing a force capable of making head for a moment against the armies which could be brought against it on descending into Hindostan. " The utmost," says the writer in the Asiatic .Journal " that has been contended for by those who profess the clear est conviction of the ' designs of Russia,' and who give the most exaggerated estimate of her power and resources, is the bare practicability of an invasion of India by her—they have acknowledged that it is an enter rize beset with peril and difficulty, and the fruition of which can only be obtained by immense sacrifices. And who that looks upon the map with other eyes than those of a theorist, and reads the details given by Captain Burnes, in his recent travels, of the political state of some of the countries that must be traversed by the Russian armies, can contemplate such an undertaking as other than one morally, if not physically impracticable for all rational objects? The disorganized condition of those countries—the mutual antipathies of the people, which would render any attempt at general combination futile— the nature of their military organization, which peculiarly fits them for attacking an invading force, when cooped in defiles or exhausted in a desert march ; the climate, want of supplies—without any active hostility on our part, would throw every species of impediment in the way of military ope rations, and the invading army, reduced in numbers and weakened in its morale, even if it entered the Punjab as friends, not as enemies, would have to dispute the possession of India with 300,000 fresh troops, true to their salt, fight ing on their own soil, and led by British officers—an army which the great Captain of the age has pronounced one of the finest he ever saw." " A satisfactory settlement of Affghanistan is most impor tant in reference to an event which, in the ordinary course of nature, cannot be far distant. Admitting that perfect reli ance may be placed on the fidelity of Runject Singh while he lives, it is to be remembered that, though an extraordinary man, the ordinary lot of mortality awaits him, and at his death what will become of his dominions? If confusion should arise in the Punjaub, as will most probably be the case, it would be well that what is immediately beyond should be tranquil. The Punjaub is now regarded as a valuable defence to our frontier, but should that be broken up, and Affghanis tan remain alienated from us, we shall not have an ally be tween British India and its most formidable enemy. Our frontier will have no protection but its natural strength ; and if in the scramble for dominion any part of the Punjaub should fall to the lot of the Affghans, let it be remembered that by that time, if not under British, they will certainly be under Russian influence, and Russian intrigue will thus be brought to our very threshold. " Suppose, however, that we have secured an ally to the west of Punjaub, capable of rendering efficient assistance, the chance of disorder arising in that country is diminished, and if, notwithstanding, it should arise, we have insured means of suppressing it, and of restoring such a state of things as is compatible with our safety. The disturbers of peace would be placed between two fires, and in the restraint thus created we should have the best security for a speedy re turn to tranquillity. It must be recollected that the ledus is jest beginning to be regarded as a much more important me dium of communication than it has heretofore been thought. It is believed that, both for military and commercial purposes, it is capable of being made eminently useful to British India and Britain itself. But the realisation of these hopes must depend upon its banks being occupied by inhabitants friendly to those by whom its waters arc navigated." We must here close our extracts from this pamphlet, in order to bestow some notice on another work, entitled the Progress of Russia in the East," which has some import ant bears g,s in a different way upon the same subject. This work is historical in its character, and presents us with a view, in actioa ; of the whole of that system of gradual in crease of territorial and other aggression which is the leading characteristic of Russian policy, artfully glossed over from time to time, but now clear and fully demonstrated to the humblest capacity. The book is illustrated by a map, giv. ing a sketch of the " acquisitions of Russia since the ac cession of Peter I. to the throne." It is published as a second edition," but we understand that, on its first ap pearance, which took place abut three years ago, when Mr. 'Neil was appointed to the Persian mission, all the co pies that could be procured were carefully withdrawn from circulation, so that it may be received as a new work. The author has introduced into a preface to this edition a cursory view of the new matter which has arisen in the interval, and he well observes, that the rapidity of the pro gress of Russia is " not less alarming and astounding than its unerring certainty ; 64 years," he observes, ``tliat is, from 1772. to 1833-6, were required to advance the southern frontier of the Czars a distance of 700 mi:es, namely, from the line of posts established by Peter the Great, be tween the Don and the Volga, to the Arras ; within these last two years the Emperor Nicholas has advanced his influence, if not his troops, from bul--0, stride of more the Arras to Ca two thousand miles." IVe d.o not deem it work, necessary to our purpose to make any analysis of this to give large extracts from it. It is chiefly useful in the r of . reference for facts, presented for the first time in gray series, de tached from general history, and illustrating r more forcibly than any arguments could do, the whole T co h urse of policy pursued by the Russian Governme n t. conjuncture which these wo rks bear u p on and illustrate is one whichfor some occupy a very prominent place in public attention s ome time. There cannot be a doubt that the movement of the Indian Government is directed by something more than theoretical reasoning respecting the designs of Russia, and they have taken the only step which, in their p ositio n ,' could effectua ll y check them. The apathy which a pp ear s to prevail in Downing-street, implies that our " incapables" think themselves secure, not only as against any co lli s i on with Russia, but from all obligation to assist the Indian Government, by sending out fresh troops, which th e y pro._ bably could not do if required, so completely are . their hands tied up o n all sides. In their supiness and mo rn _ potency lies the real danger to this country and to India during the crisis on which we are about to enter.—Times. We believe that no person of good understanding who has made himself at all acquainted with the subject believes in the practicabilty of the invasion of India by Russia. The Emperor of Russia has had too much experience of the difficulty and expense of moving a regular army through d to dream of the possibility- of issia should wish to spoil Turkey mcnse accession to her power instantinople would give to her. have for pushing her conquests far as to enable her to place our a- in any jeopardy ? But it so deliver opinions on this subject But then Russia may either gradually occupy Persia, or, by acting on the fears of the Sovereign of that country, lead him to ;,invade India. The very idea is ridiculous. Persia is a barren and thinly-peopled country, and feeble in point of resources. A Persian army is a by-word for everything that is contemptible, and the country to be passed is not only difficult in the extreme, but occupied by tribes of hardy mountaineers, who would destroy the Persians before they had well entered their mountains. Supposing Russia to be in possession of Persia, she would for a long time be weakened instead of strengthened by an occupation which would entail a heavy expenditure on her. But Allowing that this difficulty were surmounted, and that magazines could be established towards the frontiers of Aff glianistan, there is still that wild and difficult region to pass. If the Russians have hitherto been so signally foiled in the Caucasus with great resources near at hand, and if it required two years to enable them to cross the Balkan, where, if they had been opposed by any skill they would have been utterly destroyed, we may easily conceive the hopelessness of any attempt to penetrate with an efficient army the regions between Persia and India. But we will suppose, farther, that all the jealous clans of Affghanistau have for once laid aside their differences, and entered into an alliance with Russia, mountaineers are only formidable in their own country. Any force that the Russians and Affghans could pour into India would instantly be cut to pieces by our numerous brave and admirably appointed armies. Runjeet Sing has an efficient army of about forty thousand men, but no man knows better than that ruler that he could be annihilated by us in a moment, Neither he nor any other ruler of the Punjaub would dream of provoking our vengeance for the sake of a distant power which could afford him no efficient aid. But, should a feeling of hostility in that quarter manifest itself, means would soon be adopted for securing ourselves. But we have bestowed too much attention on this visionary notion of an attempt on India by Russia. That part ofourem pire is equally secure against open and covert hostility. The . only effect of Ru ss i an i n t r igues on an extended frontier, would be to draw down on the heads of the aggressors a signal punishment. Russia has, no doubt, great resources for a half- c i v ili se d country . B u t, a fter all, she is only for midable against weak or barbarous neighbours. She has ncver yet been able to move an efficient army of more than 100,000 men beyond her own territories. Their weakness was shown in the difficulty she had in reducing a handful of Poles, and in the contemptible figure she cut in her last Turkish war. The armies are wretchedly provided for, and consequently the loss of her armies from disease in any campaign is enormous. No, no ; the Russians, with all their boasting, are too well aware of the nature of their re sources, to think seriously of an attempt on I n di a . We agree with the writer in the Asiatic Journal, that a great deal too much has been made of this political bugbear.— ..iforning Chronicle. STATE OF TRADE.—The speculative demand for cotton at Liverpool, which has revived with great animation this week, has rendered the market here very unsettled. The holders of yarn are not generally willing to sell at former prices ; and the buyers, who feel no confidence in the main_ tenance of the recent advance in cotton, are equally unwilling to give higher rates. The business done, we believe, was chiefly at a slight advance in water twist, and at previous price s for mule. In goods there was little or no change.

O'CONNELL. The following letter has been addressed by Mr. Steven son to a Morning Paper : " 23, Portland-place, Oct. 29. " did not see, until my return from Scotland, the note addressed by Mr. O'Connell, some weeks ago, to the editor of the Chronicle, purporting to give an explana tion of the correspondence which had passed between us, and which I deemed it proper to make public. I do not intend to be drawn into any discussion of the subject of do mestic slavery as it exists in the United States, nor to give any explanation of the motives or circumstances under which I have acted. " Disposed to regard Mr. O'Connell as a man of ho nour, I was induced to take the course I d:d whether justifiable or not the world will now decide. The tone and purport of his last note (in which he disavows respon sibility for any thing he may say) preclude any other no tice from me than to say, that the charge which he has thought proper again to repeat, of my being a breeder of slaves for sale and traffic, is wholly destitute of truth, and that I am warranted in belies ing it has been made by hlm without the slightest authority. Such, too, I venture to say, is the case in relation to his charge of slave-breed ing in Virginia. " I make this declaration, not because I admit Mr. O'Connell's right to call for it, but to prevent my silence from being misinterpreted. " A.

Much excitement has prevailed among the working classes in Newtown, Montgomeryshire, in consequence of a weaver of the name of John Williams having been committed to Mont gomery gaol for twelve months, for insulting a policeman. Many inhabitants in Newtown, however, deemed this a severe stretch of Magisterial authority, and therefore a letter was ad dressed to Lord Viscount Clive, Lord Lieutenant of the County, by Mr. J. Williams, who said— " The facts of the ease are as follows ; and I am fully pre pared to substantiate them with witnesses on oath. " The person committed is John Williams, by trade a weaver, having a wife, who is near her confinement, with three small children under five years of age, neither of whom can obtain anything towards their support. " It will on inquiry appear to your Lordship that John Williams, who was something in liquor, went to the black smith's shop of Mr. John Nicholls, where Blincorn, the police officer, with two other individuals, were standing; Williams said to Nicholls that ' He should be more guarded and not leave all persons to visit his shop;' nothing more was said, Williams left and proceeded towards home, when Blin cornfollowed and overtook him ; they seemed to talk toget her, but Nicholls b ear d no th rea t s , nor saw any assault committed. " It will further appear to your Lordship that complaints were made to the Rev. G. A. Evors, and a warrant was issued for the apprehension of William , . " The ease came before the Rev. Gentleman on Monday last, when Williams was desired to find bail, himself in 1001. and two sureties in 501. each ; Nicholls saw the whole trans action and offered himself as one of the bailsmen, and Wil liams's brother, who is a sober, honest, and industrious man, offered himself to be the other, both of whom were objected to by the policeman, although Nicholls was prepared to justify his bail; but the brother could not prove himself to be a person of sufficient property, although better than most operatives are; and of good character. In default of this said bail, Williams was immediately sent to the Lock-up house, and early next morning removed to Montgomery prison for twelve months, in which he is now confined. "Now, my Lord, I consider the bail excessive, such as the Rev. Gentleman was not justified in demanding, neither from the parties, nor from the nature of the offence. My Lord, it would be an act of kindness if your Lordship would be pleased to make inquiry into the subject at the plc sent Sessions; that the case may be disposed of in a summary way, so that the ends of justice may be obtained, and the feel ings of humanity consulted. " The prisoner is too poor to employ an attorney, and his wife and family must remain a heavy burden on the public, until he will have his release from prison. " I assure your Lordship that great excitement prevails here on account of this poor man, his wife and family, and trusting your Lordship will be pleased to make the inquiries I respectfully request, " I am, &c., "J. WILLIAMS. Lord Clive immediately replied, with his usual courtesy, to this letter, but he could not interfere. He spoke, indeed, to the Rev. Mr. Evors, who would not reversl his decree, be cause he felt it of importance " that threats of violence against officers in the administration of justice should be re pressed." Mr. Williams subsequently submitted the matter to Lord John Russell, in whose hands it now rests. PERTHSHIRE RADICAL DEMON- STRATTON. (From the Glasgow Chronicle.) A public meeting of the Radicals of Perthshire was held on the North Inch, on Friday last, for the purpose of adopt ing the National Petition and the People's Charter, and for electing a delegate to the National Convention. Deputations were in attendance from Errol, Scone, Dunning, Auchterar der, Blairgowrie, Alyth, Dundee, and other places.

The estate has been hitherto much more productive than was cal culated upon in the first instance. Upon the private estate of Mr. Hutton dividends to the amouut of 20s. in the pound have been paid, while the creditors of the other partner, Mr. Lepine, have received about three-fourths of their claims. The d.vil:nds upon the joint estate previously declared have amounted to 11s. 6d. in the pound. The divi dend on the joint estate, ordered to be paid to-day, was three. pence in the pound, which will nearly absorb the assets in the hands of the assignee. The total amount collected under the fiat has been about 26,000/.—The Commissioner expressed himself much satisfied with the proceedings under the fiat. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HO USE. A person named Ridf, the proprietor of a public-house called the Bell, in Bell-alley, Coleman -street, appeared before the Lord Mayor to answer the complaint of his wife. The de fendant is a large powerful man. Mrs. Ruff had been accustomed to most brutal treatment at the hands of her husband, but of late he had become so fero cious, that she considered neither her life nor her limbs safe in his presence. A few nights ago he began to use the grossest language towards her, and believing that it would be dange rous to remain in the house, she desired the servant-girl to bring her down her bonnet. 'The girl refused to do so, from the apprehension that her master might wreak his vengeance upon her, and witness went up stairs for the bonnet herself. Upon her return the defendant, who had taken off his coat, squared at her as if he was standing up to fight a man, and knocked her down by a blow on the mouth, which cut and swelled the lower part of her jaw in a dreadful manner. The servant-girl carne in for ber share, for expostulating to save her mistress from the violence of the defendant. The young woman, who appeared to be much superior to her situation, stated that the defendant's conduct to his wife was most scandalous. Although, in order to avoid the charge of being disposed to encourage Mrs. Ruff to leave the house, on account of the severe manner in which her mistress was treated, she declined bringing down the bonnet, she did not escape brutal treatment herself. . . . . _ The LORD MAYOR—Was the man drunk at the time? Mrs. Ruff—No, my Lord, he was then sober enough. It is quite impossible that I can live with him. lie is killing me by inches. The LORD MAYOR—WeII, defendant, what can you say for yourself ? Defendant —Why, my Lord, I don't consider I treated her ill at all. The LORD MAYOR—What, you stand up like a pugilist, as if you had a man before you, and knock your wife down with your fist, and you don't think you treat her ill at all ? De fendant—No, my Lord, I don't. It's I that's been treated ill by lar and that girl. Shia can't prove that I hit her so hard. The LORD MAYOR—Why, you knocked her down with a desperate blow. When she came here for a summons her face was immensely swelled. Defendant—Very good, my Lord ! The LORD MAYOR—It is not very good ; it is very base, and scandalous, and cowardly. The defendant then assured the Lord Mayor that his wife gave him provocation in a way that a man of any spirit could not endure. His LORDSHIP ordered lint to find bail, two sureties in 80!., and himself in 40/. GUILDHALL. " THE KETTLE CALLING TILE POT."—SINGULAR CASE.— Jane Griffin, " fat, fair, and (nearly) forty," whose appear ance indicated that she was far advanced in pregnancy, was brought before Mr. Alderman KELLY, charged with having created a disturbance in the house of her husband, Henry Griffin, hair-dresser, of Jewiu-street. Sir PETER LAURIE was also present. Mr. Jones, who appeared for the complainant, said the par ties had been married about fifteen years, and had had three children. About four years ago the prisoner left her husband, and had during that time been living in a state of adultery with different men. She had frequently been in the habit of annoying her husband ; on Monday night she went into his shop, and refused to go away until she got some money, and he had no alternative but to give her in charge, and prefer the pre sent complaint against her. Mrs. Griffin here declared that her husband had deserted her, and was at present living with another woman. The complainant repeated the statement made by his advo cate, and stated, that •tlthough she had deserted him, he had up to the present time allowed her 2s. 6d. per week. Sir P. LAURIE—Have you a substitute for her at home? Are you living with another woman as your wife ?—Com plainant—l have a person with me to take care of the chil dren. She came to me about three or four months after my wife left. Sir P. LAURIE said that a case came before him some time ago, which had often been quoted since—that of Flinders. That was a decision in Doctors' Commons, and adultery was proved. God forbid that Magistrates should sit to decide on questions of adultery. The mere assertion of parties was not sufficient, and in the present case there was no legal proof of adultery having been committed. Mr. Jones said he could prove it. Sir P. LAURIE said the Magistrates had not the power receive such proof. if they were once to decide that to be the case, such was the facility of obtaining witnesses in police otE. ces, that it would be impossible justice could be adminiitered. The complainant might get relieved by course of law, but not by a Magis' rate. Mr. Jones submitted, on the authority of Flinden's case, that if he were in a condition to prove adultery, the com plainant was not bound to support his wife. Sir P. LAURIE—In Flinden's case documents were brought from Doctors' Commons, but if you bring fifty witnesses the Magistrates have hot the power to interfere. He has taken a fancy to another woman and she to another man, but they cannot come before a Magistrate to prove adultery and dis solve the marriage. The complainant said he had brought her here for an assault. Sir P. LAURIE—That we will go upon, but this office is not a Prerogative Court to dissolve the marriage. He is bound to support her until relieved by law. Mr. Jones said it was impossible that Magistrates could do justice unless they heard evidence in such cases. Sir P. LAURIE—I want it to go forth to the world that the Magistrates have no power to act as in Flinden's case, unless cwidence is given from D,ctors' Commons. Bring a record front that Cou , t, and the Magistrate will act upon it, but they cannot form themselves into a Court for that purpose. Mr. Alderman KELLY--I agree with Sir Peter that we cannot go into evidence on this. matter. But the woman is brought here for committing a breach of the peace. Sir PETER LAURIE—She had better go to the Board of Guardians. Mrs. Griffin—l went there, and they told me to go to my husband's house, and not go out of it again. I did not break the peace. Mr. Jones did not know what the decision of the Magis trates was. Sir PETER LAURIE—That we cannot relieve this man o', his wife. Mr. Jones (to the complainant)—Did she strike you ? Complainant—No, but she said if I would not give her pro tection she would break my windows. Sir P, LAURIE, said that very discreet advice was given at Marlborough -street the other day to a woman to follow her husband, and the Magistrate did very right. The complainant likes another woman better than his wife. Mts. Griffin—Yes, be went to sleep with her five weeks be fore he left me, and he cohabited with her three or four years before her husband died. The complainant on his oath denied this statement. A female, who described herself as wife to the complainant's brother, here stepped forward, and said that she knew he lived with the woman. The complainant here declared that he would not give his wife another penny, and she immediately exclaimed, " then I'll annoy you until you put me into the workhouse for a short time." Mr. Alderman KELLY—You had better make an arrange ment between yourselves. Sir P. LAURIE—You are both in the same predicament, for you are both living in a state of adultery. The case was then dismissed. BOW-STREET. A young female, named Ann Burgess, was yesterday brought to this office in the custody of a constable. William Henry Burton was on board an oyster boat about twelve o'clock the previous day, when be heard a noise, as if some one had fallen into the river. On turning round he saw the female at the bar sinking, but he, after considerable exertion, succeeded in saving her life. The poor creature was evidently of unsound mind, and she continued to call out " Poor Tom—poor Tom," while Burton gave evidence. The constable said that a young man with whom the poor creature had lived had been sentenced to be transported at the Sessions of the Central Criminal Court. She was allowed to depart with her mother, who engaged to take care of ber for a few days, to see whether she would get better. It she did not, the Magistrates ordered her to apply to the parish. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Daniel Cross, a young man very respectably connected, was charged by Pol iceman Carson, C 127, with havin g b een con cerned in the felonious abstraction of a bale of grocery from in Regent-street , on Wednesday week. a waggon Ti statement of the policeman was, that when about fifty yards from the wagg on he saw several p ersons at the tail of it. He went forward, and when within a few yards of the waggon a boy either in a fla nnel or a fustian jacket gave an alarm, an d aman who had a p acka g e on his sh oulder which had been j ust handed to him from the waggon, threw his load down and ran o ff, The boy also made his escape, and a third man, who at the moment of the alarm jumped out of the waggon, tried to do the same, but according to the statement of the witness was stopped and taken into custody by him. The prisoner was brought to this office the following day, and the charge against him was made. On the prisoner's behalf a host of respectable friends came forward to prove the utter impossibility of the prisoner being concerned in the robbery. The accused also in the strongest manner asserted his innocence, and gave so clear an account of the manner in which he had spent his time up to the minute w h en he was taken into custody, that the bench evidently had a favourable opinion of his defence. The police:nan, how ever, insisted that he had not been mistaken, and :Ir. Conant c onsented to postpone the inquiry f or a week, and' to relpase the accused on bail. Yesterday the case came on for final hearing.• The policeman repeated his charge, and persisted in declar ing that he had never lost sight of the person who jumped out of the waggon, and that this person was the prisoner. On the part of the prisoner respectable witnesses proved that he was confidentially employed by Messrs. Grissell and Peto, the builders in the capacity of painter. That on the day of the alleged robbery, he left his work at the usual hour (six o'clock), and that he made an appointment with one of the witnesses to meet him in Jermyn-street by eight o'clock at his club. That he was obliged to be at the club by eight o'clock or he would become subject to a fine. That after leaving his work he took tea with a friend in the Bel videre-road, Lambeth. That he left about a quarter before seven o'clock, and went into the Westminster-road to pur chase a pair of drawers, which were found on him when taken into custody. That after leaving the shop he had no more time than would suffice to enable him to reach the club in time to save his fine, and that be was on his road to Jermyn-street a few minutes before eight, when he was laid hold of by the policeman and accused of having attempted to steal the truss of grocery. All these facts satisfactorily proved, coupled with the circumstance that the night was dark and that three persons must have been confederated, even according to the policeman's statement, in the felony, inclined the Magistrates to believe that the policeman in the hurry of the moment had laid hold of the wrong person. The policeman, however, persisted in his first statement, de claring that he had a full view of the person who jumped out of the cart, as a gas lamp was near the spot. Mr. CONANT said he was inclined to believe that the police man was mistaken. He should' call upon the prisoner to put in common bail in case his attendance at any future period might be required. Bail was immediately given, and the pri soner was liberated. MARY LEBONE. Yesterday Henry Jones and John Lees, two privates in the Ist battalion of Grenadier Guards, stationed at St. John's Wood Barracks, mere placed at the bar before Mr. Rawlinson and Lord Montford, charged with having committed a despe rate outrage on Henry Stock, Esq., of 41, George street, Portman-square, one of the Magistrates for the county of Middlesex. The complainant, who sat on the bench, and appeared most seriously injured, stated that between eight and nine o'clock on the previous night he was proceeding through Lisson grove, on his way home, when his attention was attracted by the shrieks of a female, and cries of •' Police." HeJiastened towards the spot from whence the sounds came, and saw a fe male covered with blood, supported by a passenger, who informed him that the prisoner Jones, who was then run ning away, had just knocked her down. He (complain ant) instantly pursued him, and overtook him after a hard chase. He called upon him to surrender ; at the same time informing him that he was a Magistrate and resolved to bring him to justice for the assault on the woman. Jones swore he would not be taken, and running furiously at com plainant struck him right and left with all his might, knocking him down. He got up again, and followed the prisoner, who having joined his comrade Lees on the road, they both fell upon him and beat him in the most savage manner, kicking him when down. They then made off together, complainant still following as well as he was able, and in spite of their threats against his life if he persisted he pursued them all the way into the barracks and gave them in charge. The police having been sent for theliiisoners were given up and con veyed to the station-house. After a sharp lecture they were ordered to find two sureties in 501. each, and themselves in double that sum to answer the charge at the Sessions, and in default were locked up. THE COMMISSIONERS OF CUSTOMS AND THE MAGISTRATES. Yo3terday Stork Mogenson, a Dutch seaman, was brought before Mr. BALLANTINE and Mr. GREENWOOD, at the Thames Police-office, charged on a Custom-house information with smuggling nibs. of foreign manufactured tobacco. The penalty sued for was 100/. The information having been read, the defendant was called upon to plead ; on which he pretended not to understand a word of English, and the Magistrates directed the Captain of the ship to which the prisoner belongs, to interpret. The Captain, who spoke our language as well as any one in the office, said he would rather not do so, as he did not understand enough of English, and wished to send for the broker of the ship. The officers here said that Mogenson understood English very well. Mr. BALLANTINE—No Dutchman ever understands it here ; they lose their English the moment they enter this office. George Ellis, a Thames police-officer, on Tuesday night, between seven and eight o'clock, met the prisoner in the Back-road, Ratcliffe, and, judging from his bulky appear. ante, that he had contraband goods about him, he put his hand on his breast, and, feeling something, asked the pri soner if he had any " tabak" upon him ? The prisoner re plied, " No, no, Sir, no tabak," and tried to get away. He was satisfied the prisoner had tobacco upon him, and took him to the station-house, where he stripped him, and found his perscn enveloped in leaf tobacco. The prisoner was covered with tobacco from his neck to the soles of his feets. His legs, thighs, and body were completely covered, and when his clothes were taken off he appeared like a wild man of the woods covered with leaves. He uncovered the prisoner, and left him as naked as he was born. Mr. BALLANTINE-The tobacco was under his linen, then ? Ellis—lt was, Sir, next to his skin. Mr. BALLANTINE-And intended for home consumption, no doubt. Those who are in the habit of chewing and smoking tobacco ought to be made acquainted with the f,ct. A Custom-House officer here said that a peculiar flavour was imparted to tobacco which had come in contact pith a Dutchman's skin, and he understood that such tobacco was in great request by the Jew cigar -makers in SVhitechapel, as it gave a richness to the weed which was wanting in the tobacco legally imported.—( Laughter.) Ellis—lt certainly smelt very strong, and the Dutchman's person was not the cleanest.—( Increased laughter.) Mr. BALLANTINE said the Bench were of opinion the de fendant was guilty of the offence laid in the information, which rendered him liable to a fine of IN/. The Magistrates had no alternative but to pass that sentence upon him, and to order him to be imprisoned until it was paid, but the Commis sioners of her Majesty's Customs, as he had just ascertained from the gentleman who attended on the part of the Crown, hearing that the prisoner was a foreigner, and supposing that this was his first offence, or from some other cause, had thought proper to mitigate the fine to 11., and on paying that sum the prisoner would be liberated. He thought if the Commissioners hid been aware that the prisoner bad the tobacco fastened round his body in such an artificial manner, and that he had 111hs. of it, they would not have let him off so easily. The Captain of the ship said the prisoner was a very poor man, his wages were small, and he could pay no penalty. Mr. GREENWOOD—Yes, there is the mischief of the thing. The foreign seamen receive very small wages, and make up for it by smuggling tobacco and spirits. They all do it. Mr. Beverly, clerk to the Solicitors of Customs, said the facts as sworn to had been represented to the Commissioners. He supposed that the prisoner being a foreigner, and believed to be acting through ignorance, had caused them to act leniently. Mr. BALLANTINE had no doubt the prisoner knew as well that he was committing an unlawful act as he did, or why did he conceal the tobacco in such a singular manner, and try to deceive the officer ? He really could not understand the prin ciple on which the Commissioners bad reduced the penalty to 20s. THE EMPEROR'S SON.-We understand that tile new romance, entitled " Ella, or the Emperm's Son," dicloscs a variety of highly curious and interesting particulars, hitherto wholly unknown beyond the immediate precincts of the Palace of Scheeribrun, as to the mode of treatment, the personal ha bits, and the daily life of that most unhappy of modern Pries "the Emperor's So - I"—the ill-fatdd Duke de Reiohstadt ; also many minute aid most touching details relative to his last illness'and his dea. h-bed. A work thus blending with its graceful fiction the most ;ff eting truth, cannot fail to excite a high degree of curiosity, especially as it is written, we understand, by a lady connected with some of the highest families in the country. COUNTY TIPPERARY.-- MR. O'CONNELL.— Amongst the invitations to dine in public that Mr. O'Connell has accepted is one in Thurles. In a letter addressed to Mr. Maher, and copied from the Tipperary Free Press into the Dublin papers of last Monday, Mr. O'Connell says that the day on which he received this invitation was the proudest moment of his life, as it proves that he may now count upon the co-operation of the County of Tipperary in his policy. There is nothing very remarkable in any passage of this letter. Mr. O'Connell reiterates his protest against any poli tical inferiority of Ireland to England ; repeats that the Queen is not only free from prejudices against the Irish, but friendly to their rights and liberties, but that the Tories are too strong for her. The people of Ireland, therefore (he says) must agitate until the Tories are frightened into doing justice to the oppressed Irish. They must agitate peaceably though, and " never imitate the insane or dishonest Radicals of Eng land, who, instead appealing to common sense, declare their reliance on arms—and instead of resorting to reason and justice, talk of swords, rifles, and physical force." The Radicals who thus talk must, indeed, either be insane or dishol , st. " NOTHING LIKE LEATHER. " —The only amusing feature connected with the Tory festivals of last week, consisted in the " nothing like leather" receipts which the various performers prescribed for the preservation and good of the country. The Chairman, Mr. Samuel Aris tides Holme, who is a builder, " would never consider the country to be in safety until he saw a Church built fur every 4,00 Q of the population." Huzza I " Great is Diana of the Ephesians"—but our craft is greater still. Rector Campbell " thought everything depended upon an increase of the Clergy in numerical strength." Lord Sandon " regarded the Aris tocracy as the pillars of the State." Mr. Bright Crosse— ' and, as Cobbet would have said, a bright fellow it is, b e i ng himself one of the " Great Unpaid," asserted " that tho country would be bona fide ruined and undone if the supremacy of the Tory Magistracy were disterbed," The destrnetion o I Parliament would be nothing compared with Any meddling with " the bold peasantry," as he truly, bet accidentally, de signated the rural and ignorant Squirearchy, who now bring law and common sense into contempt uper4 the Magisteria bench. —Liverpool Chronicle.
